NMNT Assignment 4: Yi Zhang

Drones have already been used widely in the photography industry. There are already lots of photographers out there using drones shooting documentary or commercial work like architecture and wedding. But most drones are used for videos. For still photography, drones are only used for aerial photography. I think the camera on drones, drone’s ability to carry camera, and our control on drones will be enhanced in the near future. So, we can take high quality still photos without ourselves actually being there. For example, if you are going to document an event happening in another city. Yon don’t need to travel to that city. Instead, you can lay on your coach instructing the drones to shoot just as you are at the scene. If you are a commercial photographer and get a corporate job to shoot a factory, you also can stay at your home and send a drone to take the photos.
